Answer:

67 - 5 = 62

67+5 = 72

Explanation:

the real life scenario has been described under this paragraph. take note that I used a number which when added to another number gives 72, and when I subtract this number from the other number, I also get 62

let's assume that a teacher carries out a study in his class and found out that 67percent of his students support indoor sporting activities, if there is an error of 5%, find the minimum and also the maximum percentage of students who are in favor of indoors sporting activities.

|x - 67| = 5

such that

x = 67 +-5

x = 67+5 = 72

x = 67-5 = 62

x= 62, x = 72
